You looked at the parts layout, right?

it's separate.


I did yesterday but it looked like all those scrolls and stuff are really on there, I didn't realize until looking again just now that the little shield it was carrying wasn't the shoulderpad and it's totally unattached - so, my mistake; and thank you. Now the only models in this release I don't like are the Centurions. Speaking of "looking again" at those sprue images

I find it interesting that the command squad sprues have copyright GW 2004 on them... is that just a rebox and price rise, then?

That's right, the command squad are razorback are from old kits.

Even the new space marine kits are stamped 2012 on them. Meaning the modes were made a year ago

Rick Priestley said it best:
Bryan always said that if the studio ever had to mix with the manufacturing and sales part of the business it would destroy the studio. And I have to say – he wasn’t wrong there! The modern studio isn’t a studio in the same way; it isn’t a collection of artists and creatives sharing ideas and driving each other on. It’s become the promotions department of a toy company – things move on!

From what I gather, yes. So instead of 2000 copies it's only 500 copies. I can see people paying over $200 on eBay for them. Espically the way the site is down, it's going to be really hard to get what LE you want.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

As a non-gamer I wouldn't really have a cause to be buying the Codex aside from the fluff/artwork content - which would be a huge waste of money. That said though, I would like to see GW release the LE covers as individual posters/prints whatever. They are pretty fething epic IMHO.

Is this an actual screenshot? If so, it looks very unprofessional to have multiple spelling mistakes on a promotional piece like this.

From what 've read about Total Wargamer that might be slightly optimistic.

At least it's not as bad as EA/Maxis when they launched Sim City: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/video-games/9921870/SimCity-server-problems-enter-second-week.html

EA is a much bigger company than GW and had built the servers specifically for the game, and it turned out that they STILL couldn't handle the load. Heck, when World of Warcraft first launched it was so flooded with users that people couldn't get on and there were huge issues. So really GW's site issues aren't as bad as all that. If they're still having issues in a week, THEN we have more legitimate problems.

Actually.. that's an interesting point. I've made this point before after experience of working with company's that sell 'limited edition' items. Unless you have certification with the product that states that items number out of a total amount, then the 'LE' brand is meaningless beyond being a marketing element.

This is why you can have 'limited edition' packets of crisps, cans of Pepsi and other nonsense, technically it is no such thing.

So.. the clincher will be whether these special codecies have 'limited edition' certification contained with them. Otherwise, technically I don't think there is anything to stop GW making thousands of them - the only way you can run into trouble is if the certification sold with the items itself is not accurate (i.e. if it stated 'of a run of 100' but you actually made 1000 of them etc.)

I'm kind of a little bit disappointed that the Reclusiam Command is just a new chaplain with a bundled command squad and razorback. I was kind of hoping for an actual squad of Chaplains (Or maybe even a Grimaldus style retinue) - similar to the bundled Librarian models in the One-Click collections. On the up side of that though, at least the Chaplain kitbashes I have put together aren't completely redundant.

GW does number all of it's Limited Editions (I've got a LE Rulebook because I thought it was awesome), but I don't know if there is an individual certification.
